Ben Affleck is back in Atlanta to spend time with his children who are there with Jennifer Garner. Yesterday he was seen wearing his ring with the family’s new puppy, adopted in May, a golden retriever. A source told PEOPLE that the puppy is a sign that Ben and Jen are “working together to raise the kids and be in a kind relationship”. Full Story

There was a rally at Foxborough yesterday: Free Tom Brady. New England Patriots superfans gathering in support of their quarterback who’s appealing his 4 game suspension, ostensibly for deflating some balls but, really, for trying to cover it up. He’s like Martha Stewart that way. If you recall, for Martha, it wasn’t all that much money, especially not for her. Full Story

I remember hearing a story last year of a woman who flew to Australia with an orange and it turned into a major drama when she got there. They’re serious over there about contamination and bio-transfers. So if you have pets, and you’re travelling there with them, they have to go into quarantine. Full Story

It was a working weekend for George Clooney as he continues to shoot Jodie Foster’s Money Monster in New York. On Sunday they were all outside. So Amal stopped by to visit with the dogs. Dogs?
George has talked often about Einstein, the black cocker spaniel, in interviews. As you can see, Einstein has a sibling now. Full Story

Remember when Ryan Gosling made a movie and took it to Cannes and everyone hated it? Well, that movie, Lost River, is coming out this April and it has a trailer, and it is some straight up art school sh*t. This trailer has everything—Malickian voice over shots of people walking in nature, Lynchian weirdos, and Nicholas Winding Refn’s color palette. Full Story

Jake Gyllenhaal was in New York for Thanksgiving. Gossip Pop Quiz: You remember how he spent Thanksgiving four years ago? He was in Brooklyn. He went for a walk. With who?
Come on. You know this. It yielded years of conversation. Click here to see the pictures. Full Story

Both our dogs are sick. Barney’s kept us up two nights in a row with an ear infection and Marcus has been a conehead for almost two weeks because he has a lump on his dick that we’re still trying to figure out. Which is why I’m particularly vulnerable to this Tom Brady ad with his dog Lua.

Except…

It doesn’t make want to buy a pair of UGGs. That’s what they’re selling here. Not that I don’t have UGGs to kick around the house in. But I’m not seeing Tom Brady with his dog on the beach and thinking to myself, sh-t, Jacek needs to start wearing UGGs.

Not going to lie…
Tom Hardy might have peaked at TIFF too early. It was Friday night and Saturday morning. And he was followed by Cara Delevingne and The Riot Club boys and Eddie Redmayne and Andrew Garfield and my two fried laptops and Mike Tyson just lost his sh-t in our building on a news anchor and suddenly it’s Wednesday afternoon.

Dogs love Tom Hardy. It’s why he always seems to be surrounded by dogs. His own dog, Woodstock (or Woody), is always on set with him. When he’s on set, all kinds of little dogs show up for licks and pets. Look at that. They’re all over him and his dog musk.
I’m not complaining. Full Story

Hot Prince Harry spoke today at an Invictus Games announcement for the British Armed Forces team in London. At one point, the wind took his speech away, and he’d already been bracing for the teasing that would result from his speech-giving. Video of his appearance is below.
For me though, the highlight of the day is Harry with the dog. Full Story

Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder went for a run yesterday with their dogs. They apparently both like shepherds. Me too. German Shepherds have the most gorgeous gait. It’s like a loping dance. I appreciate that Nikki interrupted her rhythm to pick up some sh-t. Makes me crazy when runners just leave it because they don’t want to lose time. Full Story

Actually, no, wait, his son isn’t there.
So almost the whole Hardy family.
Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley were at the Blag Clothing launch yesterday in London. Woodstock came with them. Man, I wish I could take my dogs to a party.
Anyway, I saw these shots at the Daily MailFull Story

Tom Hardy continues to shoot Legend in London. There was a kissing scene with Emily Browning in the car.
But during break…
There were a lot of kisses with the dog. His own dog. That looks like Woodstock. He adopted Woodstock with Jessica Chastain – because the two of them are super method like that – when they were working on Lawless. Full Story

Anne Hathaway is currently shooting The Intern, the new Nancy Meyers movie. You know Nancy Meyers. It’s Complicated, Something’s Gotta Give, Father Of The Bride…
What I like: Meyers writes for people over 45.
What I’m not that into: Meyers’s films are like the Williams-Sonoma of movies. Full Story
